Unfortunately, more and more results of climatologists' research confirm the thesis that human civilization activity is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions and a progressive global warming process. Because the human development of civilization is the main source of the progressing and probably accelerating global warming process, the man should reform processes of development of the energy sector and other industries so as to significantly reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and various aspects of environmental pollution in the coming years.
Because it is not easy to introduce such taxes due to the strong lobbying of large corporations, it may be a better solution to introduce regulations that require enterprises to switch to renewable energy sources and use biodegradable raw materials instead of, for example, very slowly degradable plastics. The development of this type of solutions could be activated also through the system of specific tax concessions or subsidies for investment expenditures from the state budget fudnsh. In this way, pro-environmental state interventionism would be developed. This type of process has already begun in the European Union. For example, at the end of 2018, regulations were introduced banning the use of plastic in the packaging of various products within the European Union and as cutlery in restaurants from 2022. However, this is just the beginning of the process, which should be developed on a much larger scale within the framework of pro-environmental state intervention.
Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?
In view of the above, I am asking you the following question:
What are the main determinants of the implementation of pro-environmental state intervention?
Please reply
I invite you to the discussion
Thank you very much
Best wishes
In addition to what you've truly mentioned, I'd like to highlight the necessity of global collaborations and especially paying attention to poorest developing countries in various dimensions of sustainable innovations and development. Greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere and plastic pollutants in oceans can't be controlled merely by focusing on a continent.

Dear Dr Dariusz Prokopowicz,
I hope the lines i shared meet the status of your questions. Also these aforesaid determinate can also be seen as an external or internal factors that impact, motivate or demotivate pro environmental behaviour among humans.
Educating the public and political decision-makers on the science of an issue, in layman's terms, and how effects would impact them directly and indirectly, is essential and must continue. Communicating Science to people is an expertise in itself. It is similar to the period when Galileo ran counter with the dominant and powerful church clergy at that time.
